I have just discovered another new book release about Michael Jackson with coincidence of his London shows. "Michael Jackson - Black Or White" will be release on July 14, 2009 by a German journalist, Hanspeter Kuenzler.
Kuenzler has been approached by a German/Austria publisher, Hannibal to write this book right after Jackson announced his upcoming shows.
Kuenzler wrote a kinda tasteless comment on his website about Jackson's first press conference ( http://www.hanspeterkuenzler.com/News,_plans_and_general_prattle.html ).
Overview of the upcoming Jackson releases:
June - Larry Nimmber's "Untold Story of Neverland"

No All Good Entertainment Case At All
If you have wondered: still no sign of any legal actions taken by AllGood Entertainment against any members of the Jackson Family or Frank DiLeo.
However AGE filed a civil case against a well known Timothy Donnell Brown with claims very similar to the Jackson issue.

Just Another New DVD About Him
Another DVD release about Michael Jackson:
"Michael Jackson: Never Surrender"
Format: DVD
Release date: July 6, 2009.
"
He’s back like never before, and he’s acting like he’s never been away; Michael Jackson’s run of 50 live dates in London will finally put the doubters to bed and prove that Jacko is still a force to be reckoned with.
This DVD tells the full story of Michael Jackson from his entry into show-business at the tender age of 4, through his brilliant career to date as a performer of extraordinary talent and, via his trials and tribulations, to culminate in his emergence as an act who can attract over a million people to buy tickets for shows in a single city, after many had foolishly written him off as a ‘has-been’.
Featuring previously unseen film footage, rare and exclusive interviews, contributions from those who have known him best and the finest broadcasters and journalists in the business, plus news reports, location shoots and a host of other features."

Raymone Bain vs. Michael Jackson - Part 3.
Raymone Bain's people tried to serve a copy of the summons in the civil case.
"Location is a gated property. No one answered me on the intercom. Armed guards came to the gate and asked me to identify myself, which I did as a registered California process server. The guards then told me to 'get the fuck out here'." - said Michael L. Smith.

Raymone Bain vs. Michael Jackson - Part 2.
Raymone Bain's lawyers filed for a preliminary injuction on May 21, 2009.
As the filing says, they want an immediate accounting of all compensation Michael Jackson received from the Thriller 25 and the AEG Live deals within 30 days. Bain furthermore wants to have 10% of these incomes deposited.
Bain says that this is a necessary step because of the substantial risk that payments received by Jackson will depleted or spent prior to judgement, or Jackson will leave the United States for a longer and uncertain time of period.
She gave an example of Jackson's irresponsible spending habits: after the 2007 refinancing of the loan on the Sony ATV Music Publishing catalog, Jackson reveived approximately 25 million dollars for personal living expenses. Bain states that Jackson spent approximately 6 million dollars to purchase statutes and antiques.
Bain mentioned that when Jackson stayed in a Las Vegas hotel, he said he would not leave until he could purchase the property owned by the Sultan of Brunei, which had an asking price of 100 million dollars. Jackson even sent a purchase proposal to the Sultan's representatives.
The former spokesperson of Jackson's listed 14 settled legal cases saying that 13 million dollars were allocated to pay these settlements.
